Request QuoteI am an Arabic-speaking broadcast journalist with experience of working for Al Jazeera, Reuters and Agence France Presse (AFP), where I currently freelance as a news and features producer. I've worked on flagship studio programmes broadcast on Al Jazeera English including The Listening Post and Inside Story, as well as long format current affairs documentaries, including The Rageh Omaar Report and a 48" documentary marking the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Kuwait, which I produced and presented. I have also contributed shorter features for diversity programmes, including Artsworld and Everywoman. As a news producer at AFPTV, I have commissioned breaking news and feature stories from a network of video journalists across the MENA region, Europe and Africa, and I currently series produce a weekly highlights programme for AFPTV called Africa Weekly. I left full time employment four years ago in order to pursue my passion for storytelling – in all its formats – as a freelancer.
